  TV, 20 Minutes, guest on the set this Wednesday.

A huge "Spectacular" overlooks the plateau.

The adjective, which gives its name to the new broadcast of France 2, is written in capital letters, gigantic and luminous.

Around the stage, a flashing decor of a music hall square.

You would think you were in Las Vegas.

We are actually in Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint-Denis).

It is in this same place, Studio 217, that

.

Jean-Marc Généreux, who we find this Wednesday morning on site is therefore not disoriented.

The Quebecer left his post as judge of the TF1 competition to endorse the costume of the host on the public service.

"The decision took me about 14 seconds," he confided at a press conference last week.

He said he was approached in the spring by Alexandra Redde-Amiel, the patron saint of entertainment at France Televisions: “She asked me how I saw my future in France.

He was in full confinement.

So the simple fact "to glimpse this incredible opportunity to return on stage, to see the light again", convinced him to send the chair he occupied to the first channel waltz.

His new mission will be to play the Mr. Loyal of a show of twelve numbers supposed to live up to the title of the show.

On the menu: acrobatics, stunts, surprises, poetry.

When we arrive in the studio of

, the word "particularly" taps into the mouth of Jean-Marc Généreux.

The vowels are hampered, the syllables walk on the feet.

He must repeat it several times so that the sentence "After a particularly difficult year 2020 ..." scrolling on the teleprompter is perfectly pronounced.

"Manage emotion"

No more "I buy!"

Overplayed and the supercharged "Oh la la chihuahua" that were his trademark.

We discover a new facet of the fifties, more sober, but not solemn for all that.

"How good is it when it contains itself!"

At a press conference, even before putting a varnished shoe on the set, the new host said he was "feverish, excited".

He was "anxious to take full eyes and dream with open eyes."

TV, the other producing company.

The first day of rehearsals, at the end of a number, Jean-Marc was in complaints.

We knew we had to give him a little time, to think with him about how to manage and dose the emotion.

"I think the producers came to look for in me the little boy who has been on the scene since the age of 6, who is still amazed by the talents in front of him", suggested the Canadian.

He guessed well.

We've been designing this show for months.

Jean-Marc comes in there.

He must underline in each performance what we see or, sometimes, add energy to the number.

He is our Jiminy Cricket of the evening, he is the conscience of the spectator and the artists.

During the performance of Ukrainian juggler Victor Kee, we take a look at the host posted standing, public side, to the right of the stage.

He waves his hands to show his infatuation, turns to the camera to slip in a word or two.

At one point, while the camera is about to shoot, Jean-Marc Généreux lets go: "There are things that come to me like that", in response to a voice in his headset which we do not know what it was. blame him.

A way of apologizing for not apologizing.

A few moments later, while the mysterious interlocutor seems to be worried about his rumbling, he retorts: "I'm heating up my voice".

Finding the right place, between spontaneity and concentration, that is his own balancing act.

From what we have seen, the acrobat Jean-Marc Généreux knows how to get back on his feet.

A talent that viewers will be able to judge from evidence during the broadcast of
